The fix to this problem is simply uninstall KB2767916, restart your computer and then run updates again. That's all.

  Hi Jeff,

           That sounds a very simple fix to the small problem. A question though, how does one - "non computer buff" - search for update KB2767916? When I try to type on cortana search bar I cant - another small problem!

Thanks.

Go to CONTROL PANEL (windows key + r, then type control and press enter).

Click on PROGRAMS and FEATURES.

On left side of screen click on VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES.

Look for the update - "Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2767916) 32-bit Edition."

Uninstall it then restart your computer and run windows updates again.

    Thank you, Norman, and I did try what worked for Windows 8, but it did not work for Windows 10.  I was able to go in and rename the Setup File in the Microsoft Shared folder, and that has stopped the reconfiguring in Word and Excel.  It has not stopped the annoying box with stdole32.tlb that comes up when I open Excel, and I have to hit OK to move on.

    Now I have been able to stop the reconfiguring, but each time that I open Excel, Office 2007, in Windows 10, I still get the box with the stdole32.tlb in it.  I can click ok and it is gone, but it is annoying.

    Did you ever resolve the stdole.32.tlb box from coming up? I have the same issue and was able to stop the configuration process but not this annoying box.
